Age of LO(s): 4.5

Cycle/Month: 12/13

CD/DPO: 9dpo

RRCS: Trying to stay sane these next couple days before I test. It really would be too good to be true with this being the first month in a while we had some decent timing.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? We love to put a little pool up on our patio and hang out there a lot. Anything to stay cool! Splash parks are also a must.

Age of LO(s): 16.85 months (ha)

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: 19

RRCS: I'm really happy my body isn't giving me false signs so far, but this waiting game sucks. I want to ovulate already.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? DS is a lot more active this summer since he wasn't even crawling last summer. Looking forward to pool time and splash pads. We went to the pool at our gym yesterday and he had a blast. I'm thinking about signing him up for swim lessons, but I may wait til next summer.

RRCS: see above.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO?  I'm looking forward to going to the farmers market on saturday morning now that the weekend activities are over. I also can't wait for swimming at the ILs pool, and seeing DS all dressed up for my SIL wedding.

GTKY: right now K loves he baby pool and water table we have set up on the deck. I'm looking forward to having our actual pool open, spending a week at my parents house on a gorgeous lake in CT in August. Cookouts with other kids her age. Typical summer stuff!

[caer]

Age of LO(s): 2 years (and 4 months)

Cycle/Month: 13/14 (2 AL)

CD/DPO: CD 4

RRCS: so many of the people who were pregnant when I was have had babies or are pregnant. Here, IRL, even celebrities. Sometimes I feel really left behind.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas!
I don't know if this will help you but we live near a big amusement/water park. I get a season pass every year. It's my favorite summertime activity - we were there this morning actually!

Age of LO(s): 2.5 years


Cycle/Month: 13/12


CD/DPO: 26/4(ish)


RRCS: With my deadline fast approaching (one more cycle after this), I'm really starting to try to come to grips with the very likely possibility that DD will be an only child. I keep trying to think of the positive aspects of being OAD but I still have my moments where I just want to cry.


GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas! I've got nothing. I live in FL so I tend to stay inside in the A/C during the summer. We do venture out to the splash pad in my neighborhood and the splash park at the zoo but that's about it. MH always wants to take DD to the beach but it gives me too much anxiety. I'm the mom chasing DD around with a gallon of sunscreen and making her sit under the umbrella most of the time. And don't even get me started when thinking about her being in the water!

[caer]

(((Hugs))) sleepymonkey.

[sleepymonkey]

caer, you know I'm with you on being felt left behind. I'm not in touch with most ladies from my D13 BMB but I have heard that many of them have had another baby since. I'm sure there's probably at least one that is on their 3rd at this point. And so many celebrities! At this time last year, I really thought I would be holding another baby in my arms at this point, or at least close to it.

[BabyStandish]

sleepymonkey hugs!

RRCS: I got nothin.


GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas!
We've already started hitting the zoo every weekend. That won't stop. We'll do some splash pads and parks. I also plan to bust out the water table and kiddie pool soon.

I know you unfortunately understand. I have a really great BMB and I've made some IRL friendships there as well. But it's really, really hard for me to be there right now. (((Hugs))) mama. I wish this was easier for both of us.

Age of LO(s): 17 months tomorrow!


Cycle/Month: C5/M6 (7tomorrow)


CD/DPO: CD2

RRCS: Not much. I just feel like there's been a lot of pregnancy announcements in my news feed lately and I can't help but feel some twanges of jealousy.


GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas!

We love taking her to the beach. I plan on taking her to some children museum/play places as well. The zoo here is amazing so we'll go there too.
She loves the park so that's always an option.

Cycle/Month: 1/4

CD/DPO: 20/ unknown (I don't temp)

RRCS: Not a whole lot this week. Based on pre-pregnancy cycles this is my first TWW but with my first PP cycle and still BFing who knows.

GTKY: I'm looking so forward to taking DS to splash pads and stuff this summer since he was only a tiny baby last year. I'm considering doing parent and tot swimming lessons as well.

[amandamh2]

Hugs to all those struggling with seeing others able to move on in their journey while still waiting in their own.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? - camping, visiting parks, practicing writing and reading for school, and beach days.

sleepymonkey, ((()))

[cheezee]

caer I have so many co-workers and friends that have had 2 babies in less time than I have had one. I feel your pain!
sleepymonkey so many hugs going your way. I have so much hope for you during these next few cycles!

Age of LO: DS is 22 months

CD/DPO: 1

RRCS: finally actively trying this month! I spotted for a few days and into our camping weekend, grateful it wasn't full blown like it is now since the bathrooms where out there
I've already hopped on the crazy train and thought about edd if it happens this month... All aboard... It's gonna be a long month.

GTKY: we have a week of 100+ temps here coming up and already planning pool in the mornings and some indoor activity later on. There's a few splash pads and indoor parks in the area, and thinking visiting the city for some museum fun.

[cosmicav]

Age of LO(s): 13.5 months!

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD 13

RRCS: I have been temping for 10 days in a row!! This is my first temping experience, and I am so far loving looking at the data. It is making me feel productive somehow. In other news, school is out for the summer, so HALLELU.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I can't wait to try the pool. We didn't go last year because LO was too new and preemie (so I was extra paranoid), but I think it will be a hit this year! I am also looking forward to not being at work and stressed out all the time. Lol.

RRCS: Positive opk today, now I've got some weird cramping going on that I weirdly don't mind. Expecting O soon!


GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas! Honestly, just being outside is a big deal at this point. The weather here gets too cold for being outside in the winter. We are also fully outfitted for biking with a toddler and have been loving that!

[bradysalon]

I am new to this thread. I hope you will have me.

Age of LO(s): DS is 7.5 months

Cycle/Month: will start temping after my next cycle. Will start trying around July.

CD/DPO: NA

RRCS:I am little nervous to start TFAS so soon but DH is 43 and he really wants to get a move on this. I want kids close together so it makes sense.

Hopefully I can be active here once school gets out.

[flyinghorses6]

Welcome bradysalon

[MapleMomma]

bradysalon can I ask how old (ish) you are? Curious because MH is 9 years older than me and it definitely increases the pressure I feel while TTC.

[MapleMomma]

Age of LO(s): 15.5 months

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 30 and idk...

RRCS: this cycle has thrown me for a loop.

GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO?

We are outside a lot doing our normal stuff- walks, hanging laundry, doing barn chores. J loves to be outside. We're pretty far away from anything like a zoo, water park, etc. This weekend we're headed downstate and I'm hoping to take her to the zoo. At the end of the summer we are going on an Alaskan cruise!

[bradysalon]

MapleMomma I am 30. DH is 13 years older than me.

[nobb14]

Age of LO(s): 7 1/2 months
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: CD7/haven't o'd yet
RRCS: just ready to get this show on the road! i've stocked up on vitamins, so at least i feel i'm doing something while i wait to O. I don't temp; it made me crazy when i did.
GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO? I need some ideas! i need to make a BRU run and get a playpen so DS can be contained while i work in the yard- now that the weather is nicer i want us to be outside as much as possible. MH and i are also huge baseball fans and love taking DS to games, local and national.

[muskiefan]

Age of LO(s): DD 3.5, DS 1.5



Cycle/Month: 1AL



CD/DPO: 6 DPO



RRCS: I wish I wouldn't have been so lazy around O day. I had cramps, a positive OPK, but no CM so I didn't initiate.



GTKY: What are some fun summertime activities you are looking forward to doing with LO?
We LOVE the splash pad near our house! Also, putting a blow up pool at the bottom of our playset slide and spraying the slide with water is a huge hit!

[flyinghorses6]

nobb14 I don't temp either--for the exact same reason. I was a crazy person.

[muskiefan]

cheezee fx this is your cycle!

@sparky85 I bet he's going to be so cute! I love boy dress up clothes!

caer ((hugs)) that's so hard. I'm starting to feel that way, too, since many of the Nov pregnancy announcements are out. I hope you get your rainbow soon.

ourcrazynavylife I know what you mean about pregnancy announcements. :/

daisylola11 I always think about EDD at the beginning of the cycle, too!

bradysalon I just joined this check in a few weeks ago! Welcome!
